Some News Stories 2010
This column was published late 2010 as a review for some news stories for that year. Glor Moslamach views on news. Afghanistan revisited. We would like to remind our readers about the sudden departure of Horst Kohler, the ex president of Germany from the political scene. Apparently he made critical remarks suggesting that military deployments of Germany in Afghanistan were central to the country’s economic interests. The left in Germany cried “gunboat diplomacy”. It all makes sense though considering that reports have been made public about Afghanistan mineral reserves of upto three trillion...
Read MoreQuilliam Foundation’s Dubious List
All praise be to God We get all sorts of weird and strange information these days. We heard the chief of the Organization of Islamic Countries say that the OIC serves the role of the Caliphate for Muslims. We did not know if we should laugh or cry. But recently we heard another news that we simply could not believe. We thought we would share this important information with all of our readers today.

Dealing with racism is a matter of education that the Irish State can facilitate, but also one that we as people can get involved in. Fourteen hundred years ago, an African man climbed the Kabaa in Mecca and gave out the call to prayer as a victorious Muslim army stood in the sacred mosque. This man was one of the most important companions of the Prophet, our master Bilal from Ethopia. Upon seeing him on the Kabaa, one of the...
Read MoreInsulting Islam is just a cheap shot
This is a letter from the Muslim community in Dublin in response to an article by Ian O’Doherty in the Irish Independent (October 31, 2007). We would like to start by stating that we see his article as a cheap attempt to incite hatred towards Islam and Muslims. Mr O’Doherty has stated that wherever shariah law is practised in the world, barbaric and disgusting practices take place on a regular basis. Can Mr O’Doherty even define shariah for us? Where exactly is shariah practised in the world today? Let us start with Saudi Arabia as an example quoted by him. It is the only country in the...
